Students in this class will use process drama and creative play to create and perform an original ensemble style piece through collaboration with students in the Life Skills program. Students will experiment with music, movement, spoken language and sign language.
A note from the teacher...
While the title of this class contains 'theater,' this class is primarily about building relationships with a marginalized group of our school community. Theater is just the magical tool that we use to do that. To the students who sign up for this class- it is not only a privilege, it is a responsibility. A responsibility to show kindness and compassion, to be open-minded and to be a willing participant in the creative process. This means, without question, you will be expected to play every day. Grading in this class is solely based on your level of participation and interaction with ALL students.
